comprising a cap 32 movable or removable between a closed position for which the cap 32 closes the first and second tubes 30,31 in the vicinity of the closure piece 24, and an open position for which the cap 32 does not close the first and second tubes 30, 31 in the vicinity of the closure piece 24, open position in which the said first and second tubes are open between the external medium and the chamber 2. The tubes 30, 31 have an opening extending to The opening of the tubes is slightly enlarged. The cap 32 defines a hollow 32A receiving a flexible and / or compressible membrane 32B intended to close the openings of the tubes 30, 31 when the cap is fixed or clipped onto the bottle 21;

- A connecting piece 40 (formed by pieces of tube extending the tubes 10,11) intended to extend between the closure part 4 of the feed bottle 1 and the closure piece 24 of the nomadic bottle 21, after withdrawal 12,32 caps with 7.27 distribution heads and 5.25 pumps, said connecting piece 40 being carried by the closure piece 4, said connecting piece 40 comprising a first connection tube 41 and a second connection tube 42, said connection piece, when it extends between the closure pieces 4,24 being adapted to form between the chamber 2 of the feed bottle 1 and the chamber 22 of the nomadic flask 21 a first conduit formed by the first tube of the feed bottle 10, the first connecting tube 41 and the first tube 30 of the nomadic bottle 21, and a second conduit formed by the second tube 11 of the feed bottle 1, the second connecting tube 42 and the second tube 31 of the nomadic bottle 21.

The caps 12,32 thus carry a pump and its spray head. The pump then has a tube intended to cooperate with the dip tube 8 or 28. The first tube 10,30 and the second tube 11,31 of the feed bottle 1 and the nomadic bottle 21 form an assembly passing through the shutter piece 4,24 by the same passage 9.29. The first tube 10,30 and the second tube 11,31 of the feed bottle 1 and the nomadic bottle 21 are concentric, the second tube extending into the first tube.

The cap of the feeding and nomadic flasks is associated with the pump 5.25 and the dispensing head 7.27, said cap being removable relative to the shutter piece 4.24.

The first tube 10 of the nourishing bottle is extended by the connection tube 41 which is adapted, in the connection position, to be inserted into the end of the first tube 30 of the nomadic bottle 21.

The second tube 11 of the nourishing bottle is extended by the connecting tube 42 which is adapted, in the connection position, to be inserted into the end of the second tube 31 of the nomadic bottle 21. The second tube 11 is associated with a fjl 50 having an end extending out of the tube 11 in the chamber 2 and being movably mounted relative to the tube 11. The wire 50 is associated with a stop 51 serving as a feeder to facilitate a movement of the wire in the tube 11. To perform the filling the nomadic flask 21, the caps 12 and 32 are removed. After turning the nomadic flask 21, it is placed above the feeding bottle 1 so that the closure pieces 4,24 are adjacent, but especially so that the Connection tubes 41, 42 form two separate ducts between chambers 2 and 22.

In this position (FIG. 3), the liquid extends into the bottle 21, for example at the openings of the tubes 30, 31. No liquid can then flow from the feeding bottle to the nomadic bottle 21.

The flasks connected to each other are now returned so that the nomadic flask is below the feeding bottle 1. (FIG. 4) The liquid present in the nomadic flask is no longer in contact with the tubes 30 , 31, while the liquid present in the feed bottle 1 comes into contact with the shutter piece 4 and with the tube 10. The wire 50 moves slightly in the tube 11 so as to expel a small amount of liquid possibly present in the tube 11.

The liquid can now flow from the feed bottle 1 to the nomadic flask through the tube 10, the connecting tube 41 and the tube 30, while the air of the nomadic flask 21 passes into the feed bottle 1 via the tubes 31, 42 and 11, in an area where the bottle feeds 1 does not include liquid. At the end of filling, the liquid level in the nomadic flask is substantially defined by the level (N2) of the opening of the tube 11 located in the chamber 22. Above this level, the flask 21 contains air . Once filled, the set of connected vials is turned 180 ° so that the nomadic bottle 21 is above the feed bottle 1. A certain pressure balance then takes place, so that the liquid is present. in the tube 11 will go down, creating a slight depression in the nomadic tube 21. This slight depression will then ensure a retention of the liquid present in the nomad, to oppose the liquid to flow out of the nomad during the disconnection vials.

We then return the nomad after disconnecting. We replace the caps 12, 32.

Figures 7 and 8 are embodiments of vials similar to those of Figures 1 and 2, except that the caps 12,32 are not associated with a spray pump 5.25. When the caps 12, 32 are removed from the vials 1.21, the pumps 5.25 are always mounted on their respective vials.

The whole of this embodiment comprises a connecting piece 40 removable from the feed bottle 1 and the nomadic bottle 21. The removable connection piece 40 has a central housing 43 to receive the tube 6,26 of the pump 5, 25, when the nourishing and nomadic flasks are connected to one another by the connection piece 40.

The connecting piece 40 comprises two concentric connection tubes 41, 42, each connecting tube ending advantageously with a tube end 41A, 41B, 42A, 42B adapted to fit into the open end of a tube

10,11,30,31 of the nourishing bottle or the nomadic bottle.

The connecting piece 40 has on its two opposite planar faces a flexible or compressible membrane 44, and flanges 45 intended to cover a cylindrical face of the bottle 1 or the bottle 21. The reference signs indicated in the drawings 7 and 8 designate elements and parts that are similar or identical or have the same function as the elements bearing the same reference numerals in Figures 1 and 2.

After having removed the caps 12, 32 from the caps, the connecting piece is placed on the bottle 1, so that the tube of the pump 5 extends into the recess 43, and so that the ends 41A and 42A extend into the tubes 10 and 11.

The nomadic flask 21 is then returned and placed above the feeding bottle 1, so that the tube 26 of the pump 25 extends into the housing 43, and so that the ends 41B and 42B extend respectively in the tubes 30,31. The membranes 44 provide a complementary seal, or even an adhesion between a bottle and the part 40.

In this position, substantially no liquid flows from the chamber 22 to the chamber 2.

Then return all the bottles connected to each other by the piece 40, so that the nomadic bottle is located below the feed bottle 1. The liquid can begin to flow by gravity from the chamber 2 to the chamber 22, passing through the conduit 41, while air from the chamber 22 passes via the conduit 42 in the chamber 2. (Figure 11)

When the liquid level in the unmagnet reaches the level of the tube 31 in the chamber 22, the passage of liquid stops substantially, the air can no longer flow from the nomadic flask to the nourishing bottle.

Then turn the whole 180 °, so that the nomadic bottle is located above the bottle feed 1.

The nomadic bottle 1 is then removed from the connection piece still connected to the nourishing bottle. Noticeably no liquid flows out of the nomad during this operation. The cap 32 is then refixed on the vial 21 which is again ready for use.

During the separation of the nomad, the liquid present in the tubes 41, 42 flow at least partially into the chamber 2.

The connection piece 40 is then separated and the cap 12 is replaced, so that the feeding bottle is ready for use again.

In the embodiments, the tubes 10, 11, 30, 31, 41 and 42 advantageously have a passage section defined by an equivalent diameter of less than 2 mm, in particular less than 1.5 mm. The cross section of the tubes 10, 30 and 41 (for example from 2 to 3 mm ² ) is advantageously greater than that of the tubes 11, 31 and 42 (for example from 1 to 2 mm ² ).

A wire 43 may optionally extend into the tube 42 in a mobile manner, possibly with an end extending out of the tube 42.

The bottles of the shapes shown do not have valves to open when connecting the bottles together.

Figures 15 and 16 show a similar embodiment of the bottles of Figures 1 and 2, except that the outer face of the closure parts is associated with a compressible flexible seal 60, 61, adapted to cooperate with one another. to the other to form a connection or attachment or link between the vials 1.21 in the connection position. This is advantageous because it allows at least the nomadic flask to to hold without manual help on the bottle nourishes, when the nomad is above the bottle nourishes.
